Now I want to dissect the game theoretical perspectives of this exchange. He most certainly could, which would cost him nothing and be a net benefit. However, were he to participate this first round and wait until the next to take everything, the total benefit would be increased. The same goes for everyone else in the swap, except that as it continues around the first time, the total value of the box increases, which lessens the added benefit of waiting until it comes back around. After a while, it is conceivable that the benefit of continuing to go around will be minimized since your cost will be almost or equal to your gain, setting an upper bound on what can be gained, personally, from the swap at which point, if one's goal in the game is to maximize their total benefit, the viable strategy does become to make the dick move.

I'm going to go back to Hopf algebras now...

He probably hasn't posted because of some Canadian Holiday in which they turn the internets off up there or something. :puzzled:


Hockey season has started. Give him a break. Wait is it Pierre Trudeau's birthday? Mike Meyers Appreciation Day? Seriously though it must be Don Cherry Day.
